Do you know in all my years of arsing around with bikes, it had never once occurred to me that road bars had a different std. diameter than mtb - suuppose i've never contemplated swapping the controls over before though!
Those drop-bar ends are probably the closest i'd get without some major changes to setup, but damn they are ugly & the shape looks a bit uninviting.
The surly corner bars look interesting but they cost a fortune, are heavy as shit and are 25.4m clamp so would need a shim...
Might dig out the On-one Geoff again & bar tape the entire thing, might give me enough options to take my mind off the wide 22.2 drop bar conundrum!
